There won't be much money being spent on transfers, outside of the Premier league this summer. Alot of teams swapping things up, mostly releasing players and signing other free agents. I think we've always done well in recent seasons with loan signings. Mowbray although not well liked amongst us rovers fans is still well respected in the wider footballing world . We also have decent coaching set up and great facilities, in comparison to everyone bar the very top championship teams. Meaning we usually get a decent pick when signing loan players.
Pickering is a great attacking fullback and although not especially quick, could turn out to be a great signing. We definitely need some more experienced squad players and other options to change a game. But our starting eleven at full strength (given we keep hold of our best players). Is more than capable of staying in this division, there are far worst teams in this division than us.
We need players in certainly to add options and to cover the expected injuries we'll pick up, over the season. Hopefully it isn't a mad deadline day again and we can get some numbers in sooner rather than later.
